dark chocolate

This year i am in a process of adding as many healthy recipes as i can in my blog. Last month i also had a series of guest post in which many of my fellow bloggers shared their healthy breakfast recipes with me. Carrying the same forward, today i bring an absolutely delicious, gluten free, vegan breakfast recipe…. Ragi and Chocolate Pancake.

In India, finger millet locally called by various name including ragi and nachani is mostly grown and consumed in Karnataka, Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Odisha, Maharashtra, Garhwal and Kumaon (Uttarakhand), Dang District (Gujarat) and Goa. Ragi flour is made into flatbreads, including thin, leavened dosa and thicker, unleavened roti. Ragi grain is malted and the grains are ground. This ground flour is consumed mixed with milk, boiled water or yoghurt. In India, Ragi recipes are hundreds in number and even common food stuffs such as dosa, idly and laddu are made out of ragi.

Today i am following the recipe of a very popular blogger Rekha Kakkar, i was amazed to see how she used ragi to combine with chocolate to make pan cakes. As i am a big follower of Rekha and her blog My Taste Curry hence i had to try this out. The recipe is simple and can be made in a jiffy. Though i opted for a vegan recipe but these pan cakes can be made with normal dairy products as well. It totally depends on one’s personal choice.

Double chocolate sugar bite cookies is one such dessert/snack which is loved by kids a lot. Loaded with the goodness of chocolate, milk and butter … the cookies are certainly a double doze of chocolate with crunchy sugar granules in every bite. If you don’t like granulated sugar in your cookies, just add castor sugar or powdered sugar :)…

Summer vacations are soon coming to an end. I am sure you made a lot of goodies and delicacies for your children this season. Well if you are still in search of quick , easy peazy recipe that is yummy and will leave your kids licking their fingers and kissing your cheeks is Chocolate Peanut Butter Bark. Just three basic ingredients and you are done! Trust me this bark is going to make you a star in your family. Super international looks and a combination of rich dark chocolate and peanut butter… aaah, what better can one ask for! …

February had been a crazy month for me. Got a friend back home, then valentine’s day and now ending up with my son’s annual exams. Kids have all the reasons to black mail parents when they make them sit and study. So does my son, everyday he wants something new just because he listens to me and study well…. lol …

Valentine is the day of Love, Care and Affection! The special day in a year when you get an opportunity to tell people around you, how much you love them. Though everyday is Valentine, but in today’s busy life each one of us somewhere miss telling our partner that we love them immensely. Hence, the day 14 Feb is special to all those busy people who forget telling their loved ones how much they are in love. A special day to make someone special feel out of this world. The day to care, pamper and spread loads of love….

It’s not even 2 years and today i am celebrating my 300th blog post. Whenever i look back into time, i see how far have i come. The journey of 300 posts have been like a roller coaster ride. I started with an amateur writing and all i knew was to click pictures through phone camera. People often ask me why haven’t i changed those ugly pictures from my previous posts, sometimes even i feel like changing them. But honestly i won’t change them as they make me realize how far have i come. Blogging has been by far the best thing happened to me. 300 posts passed in a blink and today thankfully my blog is now counted among the popular blogs in the food fraternity 🙂 Touchwood!…

Oops! i did it again…hahaha! Yes, i’m talking about the magic pan aka Panniyaram Pan or the Appe Pan. Ever since i got this magical pan in my kitchen, i am everyday experimenting something or the other on it. I am amazed to see the results, it’s truly amazing, how the appe pan cooks almost every snack with minimum consumption of butter/oil….

Its winter and new year to celebrate, so what better than having a chilled strawberry and chocolate mousse. Well yes, strawberry and chocolate go hand in hand is a classic combination. The duo signifies celebration, love and happiness all over. And when it comes eggless it’s a blessing to all those who love to avoid eggs or are the vegetarians. The most easy recipe which is a blockbuster in my house comes for you today. I have used apple juice in the recipe but if you don’t have it, don’t worry. Just add water instead of juice, it hardly makes any difference. Light, airy, chocolaty and creamy…when everything comes together, you know it what it is….. so let us quickly have a look on the simple ingredients required to make this exotic looking dessert….

Forget love, i’d rather fall in chocolate! Death by chocolate…yes you heard it right, it’s so much chocolate that can kill you in happiness. Simple ingredients that makes these cup cakes simply irresistible. Normally the chocolate cup cakes are made with cocoa powder but here the secret behind the name is that double chocolate is used for making these sinful cute cuppies….

Hey All !!!

Hi, I'm Shaheen, born and raised in a gastronomic family where every conversation revolves around food and cooking is most relied on approximation and eyeballing the ingredients or ratios and proportions for measurements. A die heart foodie and a physiotherapist by profession, I came into blogging with a motive to pen down my experience of learning and refining in the journey with food from home and the world beyond, from street food to the fine dining, from mom's recipes to Chef's talk. Spoon Fork And Food was created on a lazy summer afternoon in the fall of 2014 in an effort to keep my sanity in check. This blog is a collection of good food and fond memories that remind me of my mum's home cooked food, those that transport me to distant moments of childhood or shared happy times with loved ones, friends and family. Recipes here are a reflection of me, my roots, who I was, who I am and who I will be as I evolve with the foods I discover, embrace and make them my own!
